Job Description

Pastry Sous Chef — Suraya

Suraya is seeking a passionate and highly skilled Pastry Sous Chef to join our team.

Led by a James Beard–recognized pastry chef at a Michelin-recommended restaurant, our pastry program produces everything in-house from scratch — including breads, viennoiserie, ice cream, composed plated desserts, and entremets.

We are committed to cultivating a positive, respectful, and growth-driven kitchen environment. Our team is challenged to continuously refine both foundational and advanced techniques while maintaining a healthy, sustainable work/life balance.

Our menu celebrates traditional Lebanese cuisine refined through modern technique and exceptional ingredients. The kitchen features a custom coal-fired grill and a wood-burning bread oven. We execute high-volume service with the finesse, discipline, and consistency of fine dining.

This role is ideal for someone who values craftsmanship, consistency, and teamwork — and who wants to grow within a serious pastry program while contributing to a positive kitchen culture.

Responsibilities

  • Lead daily pastry production and service with precision and consistency
  • Manage and mentor a team of 8+ pastry cooks
  • Ensure adherence to recipes, standards, and plating expectations
  • Support menu development, seasonal items, and R&D projects
  • Maintain organization, sanitation, and food safety standards
  • Assist with ordering, inventory, and cost awareness
  • Foster a collaborative, respectful, and growth-focused kitchen culture
  • Maintain high standards under high-volume service

Ideal Candidate

  • A strong pastry professional who thrives in high-volume environments
  • Minimum 2 years leadership experience
  • Deep respect for technique-driven cooking and attention to detail
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Passion for mentoring and developing others
  • Calm, solutions-oriented mindset during service
  • Career-driven and seeking a long-term home for growth and development

Experience with breads, laminated doughs, plated desserts, and ice cream production is highly valued.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience)
  • Health insurance (company covers 50%)
  • Paid time off
  • Company dining benefits
  • Opportunities for growth within a respected and expanding restaurant group
  • Mentorship under a nationally recognized pastry leader
  • A supportive, professional environment with a strong culinary reputation

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a short cover letter describing why you are interested in this role and why you think you would be a good fit for the position

We look forward to meeting passionate pastry professionals who want to grow with us.
